"We are deep into what you might call Cold War 2.0 and this time it's far more dangerous." "Like the last time around it’s a zero sum game with both ideological and geopolitical dimensions at play. But this time, there is no process underway to mitigate the threat of a hot war, and we’re in an arms race without arms control."
(Strobe Talbott, Brookings Institution)
"the new Cold War has rules that bind us but none that bind the aggressors."
(Sir Francis Richards, former chief of GCHQ)
